try yourself man...gearbox, pedals, tailshaft, clutch, flywheel and spigot bush should be enough to get started, then you just need to bypass the ingear relay in the relaybox. Piece of piss. Cost me $800 for all the parts last time i did that conversion 4-5 years ago.

1000 bucks and a saturday if u do it yourself. Its real easy mate, its not like u have to unplug a sh!tload of wires or have to try and make it start :( Couple of bolts & some heavy lifting and its done

Tripple that for a mechanic

Im sure theres heaps of people on here who can do it :D

yeah u can pick up all the parts for about $800, very easy to do, if you look next to the brake pedal from the inside its already marked for where the clutch pedal/master has to go, if you get a mechanic to do it will cost you roughly around $1500 maybe more and dno how long they might screw you round for or what dodgey stuff they do, i say buy all the parts yourself so you know whats going into it, you wont need many tools either, a few spanners a drill, breaker bar and just the usual stuff,

it's funny how u shit can mechanics when it takes em 4 years to become qualified in a technical feild and are responsible for the lives of nearly everyone u see on the roads, yeah do it at home so a mechanic doesnt screw you the shitty sum he charges you, compared to and electrician or a plumber, just remember- make sure u pack those wheels bearing right so the wheels dont lock up on the freeway and cause accidents or death, or did i tension those caliper bolts correctly? tension whats that?? i didn't read about how a bolt should feel on the internet hmm, it's called experience, sure you will get things done on your own and the net is an exxcellent resource, but when it f**ks up where does everyone go, well they don't use yahoo answers or wikipedia, they call us blokes who get dirty for a living and say i'm stuck can u help me, and a majority of the time for the diy enthusiast i will offer free advise or if it takes a minimal amount of time there will be no charge, so shitcan mechanics but remember who your parents took the cars to for servicing and brakes before that family trip, maybe u wouldnt be here reading this if dad or his mate jack made a boo boo all those years ago, nope it was the bloke with the dirty overalls getting paid f**k all for your survival... remember your not always paying for your arse to be ripped, and sometimes peace of mind is costly but it's better than rest in peace of mind..

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
